After Ye Qiu and Old Turtle came in, the palace doors creaked shut, completely eliminating any possibility of retreat.Li Yuan, covered in scars and frustrated with their stubbornness, looked at them: "I told you not to come in, why wouldnât you listen? Now, none of us can get out."
When Li Yuan said this, Ye Qiuâs mind sparked, his eyes shining, and the corners of his mouth lifted slightly: "Canât get out? Thatâs not necessarily true."
Old Turtle banged its head against the formation in front a couple of times, this Array indeed was incomparable to any outside ones; the Array remained unfazed, whereas it ended up dizzy and disoriented. Hearing what Ye Qiu said, it turned its head around in confusion.
"You have a way?"
Ye Qiu gave a confident smile: "I donât have a way, but it does."
As he spoke, a golden little bird suddenly appeared on Ye Qiuâs shoulder, and the moment it did, it seemed as if the temperature of the sea water rose a few degrees.
The bloodline pressure made Old Turtle instantly lay on the ground, feeling its blood boil, its limbs shaking uncontrollably, not daring to even lift its head.
"What is this?" Li Yuanâs expression grew solemn. Being a Late-stage Nascent Soul, he naturally knew of the Old Turtleâs strength, who was also a Late-stage Nascent Soul. Yet, just at a glance, it made Old Turtle lay down on the ground. What kind of bird was this?
"Itâs my companion." Ye Qiu did not reveal the true identity of Little Golden Crow, as in this world it was considered a mythical Divine Beast and he was worried that revealing it would frighten them and bring unnecessary trouble.
"Little Jin, withdraw your oppressive aura, Old Turtle is our companion."
"Chirp..." Little Golden Crow affectionately rubbed Ye Qiuâs cheek. It couldnât say it was doing it on purpose, who told this little turtle to occupy its spot? Qiuqiuâs shoulder wasnât a place just anyone could occupy. However, since Qiuqiu had spoken, it decided to let it off this one time.
Even though Little Golden Crow withdrew its bloodlineâs oppressive aura, the fear that rose from the bottom of Old Turtleâs heart still left it utterly shaken, and although the little bird didnât seem large, Old Turtle dared not look it directly in the eye.
"Little Jin, go rescue that person."
"Chirp chirp..." Little Golden Crow cried cheerfully a few times, effortlessly passing through the Array that had just stumped both Old Turtle and Ye Qiu.
Li Yuan said nothing more, his eyes filled with brightness. Trapped in this place for almost three hundred years, he thought he would perish here. Unexpectedly, there was still a chance for salvation.
But what species was this little bird? It looked like a fledgling, yet it was already so powerful. The only certainty was that was of the Fire Attribute; the closer it got, the hotter the surrounding sea water felt.
To Little Golden Crow, what was claimed to be the Array was just childâs play. It gently exhaled a breath of flame, tearing a hole in the Array. However, Li Yuan, who was still at the center of the Array, had a tough time as compared to the flame, as the attacks he had recently endured, such as Heavenly Thunder and Earth Fire, were nothing more than childâs play.
Fortunately, Little Golden Crow knew when to restrain itself and retracted the flames once a gap appeared in the Array, giving Li Yuan a sensation akin to escaping from deathâs grasp.
Ye Qiu, ignoring the now damaged Array, reconnected his mind with the residual soul attached to the Merfolk Inner Core.
Li Yuan chuckled at this: "Iâd never have thought that Li Xinâs preservation would be so good. The residual soul on this one in my hand has long since dissipated."
"Does senior prefer to recover his strength before heading out, or join us on the adventure?"
"Iâm seriously injured, so I wonât compete with you for opportunities. Moreover, Iâve been here once before and took quite a bit back with me. However, you must be carefulâthere is a hall inside filled with merfolk remains and Merfolk Silk; itâs very dangerous." After giving his advice, Li Yuan laughed and said, "I seem to have forgotten that with your little friend by your side, there probably isnât an Array that could stop you."
The Old Turtle was rather delighted; without Li Yuan sharing the treasures, it could claim more for itself. However, glancing at the small bird on Ye Qiuâs shoulder, it felt somewhat aggrievedâwould it end up with nothing in the end? Still, trusting in Ye Qiuâs character, the Old Turtle resolutely decided to follow him.
Upon seeing this, Ye Qiu responded with a serious expression: "Donât worry, based on your insistence to join me, I wonât hog the treasures to myselfâand Little Golden Crow wonât mind, either."
From then on, Old Turtle was at ease, but it still treated Little Golden Crow with the same reverence as one would treat an ancestor.
Now that Li Yuan had been rescued, Ye Qiu followed the direction indicated by the residual soul on the Merfolk Inner Core; he was curious to see where the residual soul was leading them.
The deeper they went, the denser the Spiritual Energy became. Little Golden Crow was visibly delighted, seeming to enjoy the place very much, though it found the seawater tiresome.
"Qiuqiu, thereâs a Spirit Vein below, letâs dig through to itâthis way weâll never lack Spiritual Energy in the future," declared Little Golden Crow with an authoritative tone.
Ye Qiu laughed and patted its small head: "But wouldnât that destroy the secret realm? We mustnât do something as foolish as killing the goose that lays the golden eggs."
Little Golden Crow hesitated for a moment; it wanted to say that it had no relation to this, but seeing how much Ye Qiu cared, it backed down: "Then letâs just dig out half, this world is slightly more advanced than the previous one, there must be other Spirit Veins out there."
Ye Qiu agreed with Little Golden Crow and nodded. He actually had his own thoughts about the Small Secret Realm; securing the Spirit Vein would definitely bring plenty of benefits, but one must not be too ruthless. As long as there is a Spirit Vein, the Small Secret Realm would certainly continue to exist.
Now that the merfolk were gone, he could hand over the Small Secret Realm to his sect. Although the outer sea is far from the Tianyan Sect, it is close to the Wuji Sect, and with this Small Secret Realm he should be able to exchange for many valuable things from the Wuji Sect!
The only trouble is the Transmission Array; either destroy it completely or set a trap for the Wuji Sect. After all, the relationship between Tianyan Sect and Wuji Sect had never been good. However, this wasnât something he needed to worry about; he would leave it to his junior fellow, Qin Guan, to handle in the future!
"Weâve arrived." This place was evidently the source of the entire Spirit Vein, and also where the Spiritual Energy was most abundant. Ye Qiu felt all the pores on his body opening comfortably, and the Old Turtle seemed ecstatic, as if intoxicated by drugs.
"There are living creatures inside," Little Golden Crow mentioned nonchalantly next to Ye Qiuâs ear. But of course, with its level, it didnât pay much attention to ordinary spiritual beasts.
"Living creatures? Didnât senior Li Yuan say that all the merfolk have vanished?" Ye Qiu exchanged a serious look with the Old Turtle.
"Itâs a kind of Half-human Half-fish creature that hasnât hatched yet," continued Little Golden Crow. Follow current É´á´á´ á´Ęs on ????????????????????âś????????????????âś????????????
Ye Qiu understood; it seems the merfolk hadnât completely disappeared after allâthey were Merfolk Eggs. No wonder the residual soul was so concerned; it probably wanted to find a place for the little merfolk before it completely dissipated.
The Old Turtle sighed; he had once had a decent relationship with a little merfolk. He never imagined that the fate of the merfolk would reach such a state. He didnât know if the merfolk that went to the Upper Realm had all perished. Thinking of the little merfolk not yet born but already burdened with deep-seated vengeance, there was an empathy in Old Turtleâs heart.
